Hello, I'm having problems getting bridging+netfilter to work as I expect it to. I don't know if this is a FAQ but I can't find any reference to this in the docs.
I'm running the 2.4.19 kernel, with options recommended in docs and the bridge-nf-0.0.7 patch. Iptables is v1.2.6a. Routing is set up so my internal hosts use the netfilter box as a gw, however incoming traffic doesn't do this, I have no control over routing from external hosts. What I find is that all rules in the FORWARD table applied to incoming traffic are not being matched, and connection tracking is not working properly for reply traffic back out. All documentation and examples on bridging + netfilter seem to suggest you have to put your rules in the FORWARD chain but I'm beginning to have doubts about this. Does anyone out there know the answer? How do briding and netfilter interact and where should rules be placed to handle this? Thanks in advance...
